HTTP input
==========
Liquidsoap can create a source that pulls its data from an HTTP location. This location can 
be a distant file or playlist, or an icecast or shoutcast stream.

To use it in your script, simply create a source that way:
```liquidsoap
# url is a HTTP location, like
# http://radiopi.org:8080/reggae
source = input.http(url)
```

This operator will pull regularly the given location for its data, so it should be used for 
locations that are assumed to be available most of the time. If not, it might generate unnecessary 
traffic and pollute the logs. In this case, it is perhaps better to inverse the paradigm and 
use the [input.harbor](harbor.html) operator.
